Public event

Film stream: Baxu and the Giants by Andrew Botelle and Florian Schott

Namibia in motion film cycle

Saturday 21 March 1990, Namibia gained its Independence. It was a day of celebration for many people, a moment an entire nation had been longing for. The day consequently was meant to be the day of celebrating the memory of this special birthday, but the global spread of Covid-19 unravelled most respective plans! The Basler Afrika Bibliographien therefore wants to mark this special day by sharing online contents.

Baxu and the Giants

A Film by Andrew Botelle and Florian Schott
29 minutes, 2019 (English, Khoekhoegowab, Afrikaans/Engl. subtitles)

When the BAB shows films from Southern Africa or portray film makers from Namibia, they embed these events in the film cycle project "in motion". Unfortunately a physical event is not an option at the moment. However, they decided to put on a virtual "namibia in motion" film event and invite anyone interested to watch the movie privately, to think of this special day, the effort that has been dedicated to make this film, and the institutions who try to continue their work.
